Okay for an overnighter

It is a little place to sleep while exploring the area. Surprising the restaurant was excellent (we had the steak) Staff is friendly. They have musical instruments you can play with and pretty good cocktails. Okay for an overnighter.

The property is as described, so no issue there unless I were handicapped or overweight, I’d never get into the bathroom. The rooms are cute and unique but the walls are thin and the roadway is close so it’s rather noisy. We’d stay again because if its quaintness, but I’ll bring earplugs 😁
